I not only tweeted this thread, but sent it to Treacher and Soopermexican, kings of the starter hashtag game. Also, shared this post with the Ace (o’spades) group (super secret underground clubhouse*) on Facebook.

*you need to be my fb “friend” for me to add you to the Ace group. I’m Denise Higgins on FB, the “Lucy nose on fire” gravatar is my international signal😀

Utah is the only state that forbids colleges and universities from banning concealed weapons. There are 21 states that ban guns on campus. The rest have mixed rules. The info is out there, but not all in one place that I can find.

Marco Rubio has the right idea. take a lemon and make lemonaid.
I was laughing so hard yesterday at his tweet about ” stay thirsty my friends” and the making of $100,000 in campaign funds off water bottles.

more republicans should use this method of turning the tables on the dems.

What pleases me is the Establishment GOPs haven’t a clue how to use social media. but New Guard like Rubio do. These next few campaigns are gonna be fun as the old mossbacks fade into history without knowing what hit ’em.

when my daughter was going to vote for the first time, I told her to vote for the new guy. this gives him 1 year to make the contact, 2 years to steal and 1 year to cover it up. this would cut the stealing in half. being my kid she has a big mouth. she told the lady at the registration place just what her mother told her on voting. naturally they were not happy

Men should also make sure they don’t trigger a woman’s “feelings” that might lead her to “imagine” she’s in danger. (Salazar was concerned about all the women who might “falsely feel” as if they were going to be attacked). Since women are allegedly so emotionally unstable, men should always walk on eggshells around them. It would also be a good idea to make sure women get paid twice as much as men. We wouldn’t want to piss women off.

Another CO rep has now suggested women learning judo. I am sooo confused! However will I know who to break out the badass judo upon???! I thought the problem was I am wont to mistakenly attack random men minding their own business.

“Another Democratic state representative said students could defend themselves with ballpoint pens.”

LOL, yes and we could probably slowly mutilate an attacker with a paper clip, too. By the time these Dems are finished, potential rapists are going to be begging the legislature to just let women carry guns. It’s going to be more humane to just get shot.

Well, a lefty feminist with whom I was discussing women’s rights to defend themselves just informed me I am an ugly man who loves rape and wants to go rape some women.

Because a woman who disagrees with her is Just. Too. Much. Cognitive. Dissonance. therefore I do not exist.

See, if I am an evil male GOP mouthpiece who hates women with every fiber of my dirty filthy soul, she doesn’t have to listen to me or have reality intrude into her perfect little mental utopia where the Left is the champion of womanhood, guns are bad, and legislation and good intentions are magical.

Yep. She argued for a bit, was losing badly, and then began screeching that I was a rapey raping rapist. Because I insisted that women should have the choice to be armed.

This was a “women’s studies” person. The more I observe, the more I see that the only thing required of progs is absolute devotion to their own power. Everything else, every other “principle”, is a mere smokescreen, or at best secondary.

In 1966 the police in Orlando, Florida, responded to a rape epidemic by embarking on a highly publicized program to train 2,500 women in firearm use. The next year rape fell by 88 percent in Orlando (the only major city to experience a decrease that year); burglary fell by 25 percent. Not one of the 2,500 women actually ended up firing her weapon; the deterrent effect of the publicity sufficed. Five years later Orlando’s rape rate was still 13 percent below the pre-program level, whereas the surrounding standard metropolitan area had suffered a 308 percent increase. [6]

You know, the Left screams and yells that you are insane and paranoid and ridiculous, that NO ONE on their side wants absolute State control, silly!!! But it sure isn’t hard to find lots and lots and lots of examples of their most respected and educated thinkers saying precisely that.

Ah, the coerciveness of the Left. Shut up and be ruled by your betters. They are filthy with it. http://t.co/jlhZIUUv

How convenient..yet another argument for the “new scientific man”…we’re only at 100 million dead and counting so far thru various “interrations culturelles” attempting to achieve the ultimate in “quality control,” I wonder if Cass and Conly care to quess how many dead this time when the ultimate logic of their “science” is worked out..

Yep. Did all that fighting for equality and self-determination, only to have twits today gift-wrap it and hand it lock stock and barrel to a committee of progs in return for $9 BCP’s and and an empty promise of “caring” and protection.

Althouse just threw the book and review excerpts up there. She has not yet weighed in to the discussion.

One of the things my grandfather (who fought in WW2, receiving 2 purple hearts and various distinguished service honors) always said was that it wasn’t the government’s job to protect people from their own stupidity.

The other thing was: if you want something get it yourself or, even better, learn to do without.

I may have told this story before , but years ago before cellphones , when my drunken next door neighbor accosted me on my own front porch one night when i was coming home from work at midnight ( 3-11 shift ) , he grabbed my arm and tried to shove me in my own front door . He kept saying “Lesh go in da housh ” . I had rape prevention training . Told him I might have HIV and all kinds of silly stuff , I finally got away from him and jumped in my car , went to a friends house called the police and eventually charged him with assault . Long story short the judge said I was “JUST ALARMED” because he was very big black man , and after all “nothing really happened” and he was not guilty .
I wished I had had a gun . POP POP .

I wish you’d had a gun too. Magic words if you ever need to shoot an assailant: I was in fear for my life. Not “afraid”, not “he might hurt me”, not “he might rape me”. IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE. Be an utter basketcase of terror that you were going to DIE by the time the cops get there.

People don’t understand , you ARE in fear for your life . What guarantee is there a rapist will stop at rape ? And after , I couldn’t wear a skirt for a year I carry mace or pepper spray now .Whistle my ass .

congressional staffers taking overseas trips paid for by foreign governments. both sides of the aisle over 800 known trips in the last 6 years. dems inserted exemption in the ethics bill to get around it.

I think that any woman that wants to should have a gun and use it to defend herself. However, if guns were such a sure fire protector against rape US service women would not be being raped at such an alarming rates.
